Xabi Alonso has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, rejecting a potential move to Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's successor. Despite contact made after Klopp's exit, there were no direct talks. Liverpool could acquire Ruben Amorim for £12.8m. Richard Keys and Joe Cole criticized Alonso's choice, questioning his decision and courage.
